As we begin this new church year and new year in WMU, we will continue to focus on an Unshakable Pursuit – Chasing the God who chases us. Isn’t it amazing to know that God, the creator of all things, desires to know and have a personal relationship with you? Laura Lee Leathers writes: “When we choose to follow Him He creates a desire in us to know and love Him more. The practices of prayer, Bible Study, and worship grow our relationship with God through Christ. Out of that comes the impact on others – evangelism, discipleship and service.” Let this year be a continuation of worship and service for Him. 1 Corinthian 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
